Aloha,
As the founder of Kua Mana'o Kokua, I am committed to helping clients with their struggles with addiction, cravings, cessation, or simply cutting back some. Specializing in both addiction and psychiatry allows me to treat mental ailments associated with substance use. If substance use is not an issue for you, then come and see me for weight management, ADHD, Mood disorders, Psychoses, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, Medical Marijuana, or simply Talk Story.
The key to success is symptom management, support and PsychoTherapy.
Please feel free to google me and learn more about my practice. I am also available via text and email. The website listed allows you to self-schedule.
A Hui Hou, Aloha Nui, Malama Pono.
